=== Notes From Elsewhere ===
Leslie Fernandes Taylor BA (Cantab) was born in York in 1889. His father was Harold Dennis Taylor,<br />the inventor of the famous ‘Cooke Triplet’ photographic lens (1893), and his mother was believed to<br />be Portuguese, hence his middle name ‘Fernandes’. Whilst studying Natural Sciences at Clare College<br />Cambridge (1909-1912), Taylor became interested in the study of anthropology and he made the acquaintance of noted academics connected with its development as a profession, whose patronage<br />he enjoyed. Archibald Rose and A. C. Haddon (1855-1940)3 both supported Taylor’s application to<br />join the Indian Education Service,4 as his third-class degree made him ineligible for the Indian Civil<br />Service (ICS).<br />5 Supported by leading university anthropologists of the day, an appointment in the IES<br />in Burma was contrived for Taylor through use of the ‘old boys’ network’ and the right contacts at<br />the India Office in London, which would allow him the opportunity of pursuing important<br />anthropological studies whilst in Burma [from: Carol Ann Boshier Leslie Fernanes Taylor and the ‘Lost’ Linguistic and Ethnographical Survey of Burma]
